> Well, from doing some web searches, looking for some corroboration, I see a very similar item (but written in the first person), in a web forum called the tree of liberty. Don't know if this is the source, but it may be. No specifics, but it is a person saying "my son" vice "his son."

That first-person post is a anonymous blog comment. It has even less credibility than the main article. ;-)

This is how urban legends get started. Look at all the Freepers who aren't bothering to wonder if it's true.

"Button? Meet PUSH."

Might be true, might not. Certainly gets people excited, though, don't it?

Well, I live in PG County, MD. If you saw the idolatry going on around here (in both private and public schools, oh, by the way), you might be a little less skeptical.

My daughter who attends a public HS (after 9 years of private school and 1 year of homeschool) has reported some amazing things to me...to include teachers yelling at her, teachers challenging her to public debates...principal giving 15-20 minute long announcements extolling the virtues of THE ONE^™©®...yeah, hearing about this in a first grade classroom is all too believable to me.

Oh, and by the way (in case you're wondering), she is a FReeper and she wore her Nobama button the first day back in school after the inauguration.

<<<Sadly, after seeing the outright worship at the inauguration, this story is not impossible to believe. I hope it is not true; but if it is, I hope parents bring it to school board and sue district.

Stuff like this is likely going on in different ways throughout the country unknown to the parents—ex. my own daughter...

My daughter’s entire school watched the inauguration on big-screen tvs. I do not think there were any notices sent home...Many students were uncomfortable watching, yet were even less comfortable formally opting out to a study hall. We live in a fairly affluent republican county. The school had never done this for Bush...said it was historic. (I was raised to be color-blind, Martin Luther King “Do not judge a man by the color of his skin but by the content of his character,” etc. Therefore, I found this particularly disturbing.)
